Likewise, the ultimate precaution to not endangering your children to drug abuse would be to not smoke dope.
My remarks were not offensive, I have been rather jovial during our entire discourse. Do not take imaginary offense as a method of relinquishing your responsibilities to your children.
Perhaps, but I think your defensiveness stems from the fact that you don't want to quit smoking pot and the people posting to you today have made a very good case as to why you should quit.
No????? Do you come home after driving around smoking pot with your husband? You are still high, whether or not your children are awake or sleeping. How would you feel if a fire broke out and you were too stoned to save them?
Any time you are in the same house with your children while you are high is certainly careless.
my children are not endangered and the only reason you think so is because the leagality of the issue. Earlier in this discussion it seems everyone had different views than they do now.
As for the reamarks i was not referring to you in particular, rather most comments in general.
Actually i think NO ONE has made any CASE toward anything except for the fact that there is a possibility of me being pulled over while smoking in which case it isn't like i would go to prison over a joint.
have you EVER heard of anything so absurd happening? probably not! and usually by the yime we return we are not high thank you.
And i think there are much bigger issues that you could be exhausting your time toward rather than picking on someone who MIGHT be the slightest bit "high" while there kids are asleep!
i mean, that's really picking out some small stuff!
No one answered my question about have you ever had a drink in front of or around your children did they?
LDD,
While I believe that there are medical applications for marijuanna that will eventually become mainstream, rolling up a joint and smoking it while the kiddies are in bed doesn't sound like it's being used for medicinal purposes. It's possible that you do have a medical condition, but as a nurse I can think of only a few where smoking grass is an appropriate treatment. In some forms of cancer, it has been shown to be useful, and there is ongoing research to develop a drug based on marijuanna that will take advantage of wanted effects, like ammelorating the pain of terminal cancer and the nausea that goes along with chemotherapy, without the side effects.
As it is right now, marijuanna is not the front line therapy for any disease. It has been used in a few instances which to my mind are appropriate--in people who are non-responsive to other existing treatment. I'm talking about the few cases I've seen in 26 years of being a nurse--a guy with terminal prostate cancer who was getting chemotherapy to prolong his life, and for whom the conventional drugs for nausea and pain just weren't cutting it Offhand, I can think of 2 other cases similar to this one. I know that I haven't seen more than a handful.
You've been smoking the stuff off and on since you were 15 years old. This, coupled with the incredible co-incidence that you would say that your husband would be one of the very few people that benefit more from marijuanna than he would any other drug, kinda makes me believe that your usage and his are primarily recreational. If I have cancer, I have cancer all day, not just when the kiddies are tucked away.
You're smoking the stuff to get high. You just judged Turbo saying that it is "unchristian-like" to judge and rebuke. Do you think that it is "christian-like" not to condemn illicit drug use and getting recreationally stoned?

OK.
It isn't christian-like, true, because most christians think they can be nicer than God. But Christ himself was judgmental, taught that His followers should judge rightly, and even engaged in namecalling when appropriate. So these behaviors may not be christian-like, but they are Christ-like.
It wasn't until it became abundantly clear that you were rejecting all guidance that didn't affirm your behaviour, and that you were talking out of both sides of your mouth regarding your drug use, that people started treating you like a fool who hates correction.
You've been treated rudely because of your attitude.
Maybe you should re-read the first several pages of this thread.
I don't think anyone was trying to hide it.
But you had your mind made up about marijuana before you ever started this thread, didn't you?
Why would it be necessary for a Christian to base every opinion on the Bible?
There's quite a bit that isn't specifically addressed in scripture.
And my opinion of the merits of illicit drug use isn't based on what I enjoy personally--I've taken plenty of illegal drugs in the past and personally enjoyed all of them. That doesn't mean that using them was a good thing. Mostly it means that I was being a jackass.
I know for myself, I get more done and I don't risk my license and my means of earning a living when I'm not stoned.
So far, everything I've seen from LLD has been her attempts at justification for her current drug usage. I've seen no indication that she had any intention of quitting, even if it is proven to her that what she does is not beneficial.
Y'all know the routine, I'm sure.
